In What ways Have I Changed My Perspective from Being Teacher-Centered to Learner Centered?
Several ways contribute to my teaching becoming learner centered and not teacher centered. The first way is how I now set up a learning place that offers opportunities for individuals and small cooperative groups. Both groups have potential to reach their zones of proximal levels and only need me to facilitate and encourage. Also, I model when I do not know something. I tell my students, " lets find out". My perspective is about breaking down the walls of the teacher being the end all expert and students just the receiver of information. Rather, they can learn more, their personal interests can be integrated into their studies, and they can see that knowledge needs to move beyond the teacher. As one Utube video showed, www whenever, whatever, whenever. I plan on implementing my students to become contributors and links to the world.
